The holidays are a time of peace, love, joy, and kindness—a perfect opportunity to give back and make a difference in your community. At Seeds of Hope, we’re dedicated to sharing these blessings by helping local families in need, and we invite you to join us in spreading holiday cheer!
Each year, we distribute 400 holiday hams to families who could use a little extra support. To make their holiday meals complete, we ask for your help in donating “bags of sides.”
How Can You Help?
Fill a bag with 12 nonperishable items of your choice. Here are some examples:
- Mac & cheese
- Canned vegetables
- Baked beans
- Pasta salad
- Boxed bread mixes
- Boxed potatoes
- Canned fruit
- Dessert mixes
Whether you donate a few items or a whole bag, every contribution makes a big impact. Drop off your donations at one of our many collection locations—click here for drop-off locations.
Deadline: Please donate by December 17th to ensure we can distribute everything in time for the holidays.
Celebrate the Season with Lights and Giving
For a festive way to support Seeds of Hope, visit two incredible local light shows:
- Paloma Glade: Celebrate the Season of Giving with Paloma Glade
- Quintessa Lane: Merry Sithmas on Facebook
Both events collect donations for Seeds of Hope, combining the magic of the season with the joy of giving.
Together, we can make this holiday season brighter for everyone. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us bring peace, love, joy, and kindness to those in need.
